DIGITUS CAT 6A S/FTP Outdoor Patch Cable PE Black 10m DK-1644-A-100-OD

The Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP outdoor patch cable is a 10-meter network cable designed for reliable and high-speed data transmission in harsh outdoor environments. Built with a durable polyethylene outer jacket, this cable provides robust protection against weather elements, temperature fluctuations, and direct sunlight, ensuring stable network performance for both professional and residential installations.

Advantages

The cable features a shielded twisted pair construction combined with a copper inner conductor to minimize signal interference and maintain high transmission speeds up to 500 MHz. The rugged LDPE outer jacket offers UV resistance as well as resistance to acids, alkalis, and corrosion. Molded boots provide bend protection, strain relief, and latching lever protection to prevent physical damage during installation and use. Additionally, the cable supports Power over Ethernet standards including PoE, PoE+, and PoE++.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in outdoor environments
• Establishing robust links between buildings
• Outdoor IP camera installations
• Residential and professional network setups requiring weather-resistant cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be ideal for standard indoor desktop routing where a flexible PVC jacket is preferred over a rigid outdoor PE sheath. It is also unnecessary for basic low-speed networks that do not require CAT 6A performance.

Key specifications

• CAT 6A Class E performance up to 500 MHz
• S/FTP shielding with twisted pairs
• Copper inner conductor
• LDPE outdoor PE jacket, black
• Length: 10 meters
• 2x RJ45 plugs with bend protection and latching lever protection
• Operating temperature range: -20 °C to +60 °C
• Supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug of the outdoor patch cable to the network port of your outdoor device, such as a security camera or an external access point, and route the cable carefully to your main network switch or router, connecting the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius during routing to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10-meter length is sufficient for your specific routing distance between devices
• Confirm that your network equipment supports RJ45 connections and CAT 6A speeds
• Assess the outdoor installation path to ensure proper fastening and protection against physical hazards

For optimal performance and longevity, secure the cable properly along its outdoor route to avoid excessive tension, and protect connection points from direct exposure to standing water.
